GMP Rejects Prior-Warning Claims as Terror Probe Into Manchester Synagogue Attack Intensifies

A watchdog is assessing whether officers’ gunfire contributed to Adrian Daulby’s death.

Overview

  • Counter Terrorism Policing North West continues the investigation with four suspects held on extended detention warrants, while two others arrested earlier were released without charge.
  • Greater Manchester Police said reports that Jihad Al‑Shamie had previously been reported over extremist behaviour are inaccurate and reiterated he was not known to counter‑terrorism units.
  • Newly published CCTV and doorbell footage shows Al‑Shamie walking away, then driving a black Kia Picanto toward Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation minutes before ramming worshippers on Yom Kippur.
  • Mourners gathered for the funeral of Adrian Daulby, 53, who was hailed for holding synagogue doors shut; he and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed and three people remain in hospital.
  • Police confirmed rounds fired by armed officers struck people sheltering inside, and the IOPC is investigating whether that gunfire caused or contributed to Mr Daulby’s fatal injury.
